Not really commentary but what Emannuel Steward to Jermain Taylor in the inbetween rounds before the 12th.

"Dont give a **** if you land or not, just let em GO!, dont worry its gonna be a ****ty fight but you gotta let punches go....... you got 3 minutes you gotta fight!" Man steward was disgusted with Taylor.

Lampley, "Allah knows how to spell Barrera...B A R R E R A"
Foreman, "You should stop with all that..."
Lampley, "I don't Barrera likes Nas, what do you think, George?"
Foreman, "I don't think you like him either, Jim.."
Lampley, "I like Nas, George...I think they're both nice!"
Foreman, "No, you've said some things.."
Lamley, "Okay, George!"
Foreman, "You ought to be removed from the production team, what's he ever done to you?"

Merchant, "I don't see it that way, Roy..."
RJJ:, "Well, that's because you're not a boxer..."
Merchant, "You've pulled rank on me, Roy"

---------
Oscar vs Mayweather

Manny Steward, "I've never considered Floyd a great..."
---------
During a Mayweather fight:

Manny, "I think if he wanted to he could get him out of there and that was always a sign of someone great..."
Lampley, "Emanuel, it's not that he just says he's great he's compared himself to Ali..."
Manny, "I think if he wants to be remembered that way he should bring the fight to..."
Merchant, "He's said he's better than Robinson.."
Manny, "What!? I know he never said that!"
Merchant & Lampley, "Ha ha ha.."

Jake Lamotta commentating with his wife on a fight that was featured in Assault in the Ring:

After every punch landed:

Lamotta, "That one didn't land...that didn't land too...and that one missed..."

Lamotta, "You're right! That was a good observation...ha ha..."

Merchant in post-fight interview with Hopkins:

Merchant,"Aren't you ashamed?"
Hopkins, "Well, it's a job to me and I did my job and I got paid"
Merchant, "So! No one will come to watch you"
Hopkins, "As far as I know you're a commentator or I've heard different and you promote fights now"
Merchant, "Thank you, Bernard"

You'll notice most of the infamous commentary comes from HBO, not from Showtime where the commentators are more impartial IMHO.

[Tony Trick-Pony]

"What?! Duraaan quit! Roberto Duran has Quit!" of Don Dunphy

"He's not getting up Jim! He's not getting up!" Roy Jones Jr.

Probably these lines would be embedded in the history of boxing, Ironically, these lines refer to the downfall of the two of my all time favs. Pac, Duran.

"It happened."

Foreman over Moorer. Will never forget that.
